Frequently Examined Questions

No fluff. Honest calculations, engine rules, device resource usage, and how touch registration operates under the hood.

01

Are all card deals actually winnable?

No, and anyone claiming otherwise is quietly pre-filtering hands. In authentic Klondike Solitaire with pure randomness, mathematicians estimate approximately 79% to 82% of 3-card draw deals are theoretically solvable if the entire hidden stack is known in advance. In blind play, human win rates generally hover between 30% and 45%. We deliberately do not steer seeds: you play honest mathematical odds.

02

How does the Vegas Cumulative scoring mode compute points?

You begin with a baseline balance of -$52. Every card safely routed into the top foundation piles credits exactly +$5. In 1-card draw, you are entitled to only one single recycle pass through the waste pile. In 3-card draw, you receive three full passes. Success requires clearing at least eleven cards to turn a positive score (+3).

03

Can I play the entire game completely offline with zero data consumption?

Yes. The core application runs locally inside your device sandbox. Deal seeds, game timers, undo stacks, and personal win streak tables are saved directly in local flash storage. You can play on airplanes, remote trails, or subway tunnels without needing an internet handshake.

04

Why does dragging a stack feel snappier than in other card apps?

We eliminated frame-bound physics smoothing on card movements. Card coordinates update synchronously with your screen’s raw hardware touch sampling rate (including 90Hz and 120Hz displays). Snap targets are calculated via predictive distance vectors rather than waiting for finger release.

05

Does the Auto-Complete button cheat or skip required moves?

Never. The auto-finish button only lights up when every single card on the tableau has been turned face-up and no hidden dependencies remain. It executes the exact sequence of legal single-card moves to foundation piles at high speed, saving you 20 to 30 repetitive taps.

06

Can I customize card fronts for high-visibility readability?

Yes. You can switch between standard heritage indices and high-contrast bold face designs engineered specifically for smaller mobile screens or low-light conditions. You can also toggle between single-tap auto placement and tactile drag-and-drop.
